You will need a digital scale to weigh out the ingredients for my anti-wrinkle green tea eye cream recipe.

Begin by using a digital scale to weigh out the shea butter and beeswax. Melt a double boiler then remove from heat. Now weigh out the walnut, rosehip, pumpkin, and evening primrose oil and stir into the melted shea butter and beeswax.

Allow the natural green tea eye cream to cool completely and solidify to a creamy consistency – you can speed this up by popping it in the fridge for several hours – then weigh out the liquid green tea extract and stir into the cream.

Spoon the final product into a 2 oz. glass jar and seal. Store in a cool dry place.

I used aloe with a preservative and used mine right away, however yes, if you’re not planning to use this immediately or are planning to sell these or gift them, you’d definitely want to use a preservative. You could use Phenonip and add at .5%-1% when the temps of this are between 140°-155°F to prevent the growth of mold, bacteria and fungus. Or you could also use Optiphen, which is paraben free, but you’ll need to add it at around 120°F. Or of course any other preservative of choice.
